As the median age of the population increases, the number of individuals with Alzheimer's
disease (AD) and the associated socio-economic burden are predicted to worsen. While …

Zinc is involved in a variety of biological processes, as a structural, catalytic, and intracellular
and intercellular signaling component. Thus zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled at the …

The recognition and sensing of biologically and environmentally important species has
emerged as a significant goal in the field of chemical sensors in recent years. 1Ā10 Several …

Coordination chemistry plays an essential role in the design of photoluminescent probes for
metal ions. Metal coordination to organic dyes induces distinct optical responses which …

Compared to several other metal ions with similar chemical properties, zinc is relatively
harmless. Only exposure to high doses has toxic effects, making acute zinc intoxication a …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. PD
patients exhibit motor symptoms such as akinesia/bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural …

The ionotropic glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate the vast
majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. The cloning of cDNAs encoding …

Fluorescence probes serves as unique detection methods for its simplicity and low detection
limit (LOD) and especially bioimaging ability. Research on the probes has already sprouted …

Zinc is an essential biological element for living organisms and fluorescent imaging has
been proven to be the most suitable technique for its in vivo monitoring. From the late 1980s …
